This afternoon, Rangers get their 2019/20 Scottish Premiership campaign underway.
It’s a big game to start off with, too. Stevie G’s men travel to Rugby Park to face Kilmarnock, a team they regularly struggled against in the league last season.
The hosts now have different coaching personnel, though, after the departure of Steve Clarke and the subsequent appointment of Angelo Alessio. Their season got off to the worst possible start, as they were dumped out of Europa League qualifying by Welsh part-time side, Connah’s Quay Nomads.

Heading into the fixture, the manager had pretty much his entire squad to choose from.
However, considering the Gers were in action away in Luxembourg on Thursday evening, there was always likely to be a few changes.
Steven Davis was a doubt with a tight hamstring but pulled through in time to play. He replaces Glen Kamara, while Jermain Defoe drops out for Alfredo Morelos.
Between the sticks, as expected, Wes Foderingham gets the nod with Allan McGregor suspended.
Here’s a selection of reactions to the starting XI on Twitter:
